In recent years, driven by scientific and technological advances and favorable policies, China's plant factories are embracing a new development opportunity. According to statistics from Zhii Research Consulting, the number of plant factories in China reached 272 in 2021, with an increase of 48, and the newly added factory area reached 215,400 square meters. China’s plant factory development pace is at the forefront of the global market, with expectations for the market to continue its robust growth.

01. Plant Factory and Its Core Technology

A plant factory is an efficient agricultural system that achieves year-round continuous production of crops through high-precision environmental control within facilities. Utilizing smart computers and electronic sensing systems, it automatically controls the essential environmental conditions for plant growth, including temperature, humidity, light, CO₂ concentration, and nutrient solution, enabling plants within the facility to grow unaffected or minimally affected by natural conditions.

Yang Qichang, a researcher at the Agricultural Environment and Sustainable Development Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, previously pointed out in media reports that five core technologies of plant factories have been mastered, namely, “creation of LED energy-saving light sources, light-temperature coupled energy-saving environmental control, nutrient solution cultivation, vegetable quality regulation, and intelligent control." Each technology has its unique role and significance. Especially the LED artificial light source technology, which plays an indispensable role in ensuring the healthy growth of plants. Therefore, with the rapid development of plant factories, artificial supplementary lighting technology is garnering increasing attention, swiftly emerging as a significant area of research and market demand.

02. LumiAgro Plant Factory

In plant factories, lighting is crucial for the healthy growth of plants. To meet this demand, LumiAgro, a plant lighting brand under GMY, has delved into the research and development in this field early on. LumiAgro has a plant factory with a total planting area of nearly 6,000 square meters, providing scientific data and technical support for the research and development of plant supplementary lighting technology. Meanwhile, combined with GMY’s over 20 years of research and manufacturing experience in lighting technology applications, LumiAgro not only possesses the core technology for the overall solution output of plant factories but also offers professional customized supplementary lighting solutions for different plants and their various growth stages.

03. LumiAgro Professional Supplementary Lighting Solution
